Speaker 1: It is the mina goodbye and talking like joy from
Speaker 1: love is blind.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this such a weird.
Speaker 1: I can't do Minnesota access. I'm really not good at it,
Speaker 1: even though I have one. So anyways, welcome to the Minnesotabye.
Speaker 1: Jenny and Bailey here today and we'll jump into these emails.
Speaker 1: This comes from Jenna. It says, hey, crew, I'm writing
Speaker 1: in response to Becca's email about what to say or
Speaker 1: not to say to someone who is experiencing a miscarriage
Speaker 1: or someone being sick, et cetera, which led to a
Speaker 1: discussion of what could be done more forwardly for someone
Speaker 1: experiencing the trauma of a miscarriage or even a death.
Speaker 1: I lost my dad about a month ago, and I
Speaker 1: am starting to see what could be a generational difference
Speaker 1: in how our loved ones react to this kind of trauma.
Speaker 1: In context, I'm thirty three with friends in the millennial
Speaker 1: group and also in gen Z. I get constant text
Speaker 1: for my friends and family checking in on me to
Speaker 1: see how I'm doing, and they always seem to end
Speaker 1: the conversation with I'm here if you need anything. The
Speaker 1: conversations always feel loving, and they do distract me for
Speaker 1: a few moments, but that small feeling of comfort easily
Speaker 1: fades away once I'm always here for you is said.
Speaker 1: I was absolutely the same way up until this point.
Speaker 1: I would always make it known to anyone going through
Speaker 1: a loss or difficult time that I was there for
Speaker 1: them because I knew or thought for my end that
Speaker 1: texting or calling to listen with compassion was comforting enough.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I will take those moments at
Speaker 1: any time and cherish them. I do not want to
Speaker 1: diminish any conversation I've had going through this. It took
Speaker 1: losing one of the most important people in my life
Speaker 1: to realize that words, as much as they are appreciated
Speaker 1: and nice to hear and feel for a moment's time,
Speaker 1: don't do as much as you may think. I agree
Speaker 1: that when people ask, when is a good time to
Speaker 1: come by is a very hard question to answer.
Speaker 3: If you have to think.
Speaker 1: About it, it's almost certainly going to result in the
Speaker 1: response along the lines of I'm okay, you don't need
Speaker 1: to bother. If someone told me they were on their
Speaker 1: way to see me without asking, it would force me
Speaker 1: to buck up my shit enough to be in better
Speaker 1: spirits to spirits to spend physical time with them in
Speaker 1: the present moment. How do we break the habits of
Speaker 1: having a screen between us and our loved ones to
Speaker 1: show true connection and passion. This comes from Jenna, and
Speaker 1: she does end it with ps, I can dart and
Speaker 1: look at the same time since I have a split tongue, Jenna, Ja,
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that at.
Speaker 3: The end there.
Speaker 1: Well, Jenna, I am so extremely sorry for your loss.
Speaker 1: That is very, very tough, and as you pointed out
Speaker 1: on this email, these words maybe will help you for
Speaker 1: a few moments and that will be it.
Speaker 3: But that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I do think that until you go through a very
Speaker 1: specific situation, you don't know what it's like. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know for a fact that I probably haven't been the
Speaker 1: best of friends to some of my friends who have
Speaker 1: had kids so far, because I've never experienced being in
Speaker 1: the trenches of a baby. I've definitely been there for
Speaker 1: my friends, but I probably haven't really helped them out
Speaker 1: when they, like first had a kid, and they probably
Speaker 1: needed a lot of help, and I didn't understand that
Speaker 1: when they started having kids and stuff, and so it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting to hear a point of view of someone
Speaker 1: who's gone through it, and basically, I think what we're
Speaker 1: getting out of a lot of these conversations is to
Speaker 1: just show up or I mean, you might know someone
Speaker 1: who is not gonna be okay with someone just showing up,
Speaker 1: because that's kind of like probably how I am, honestly,
Speaker 1: But just going and being there for them outside of
Speaker 1: just the text messages is very important.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and not just like the I mean, obviously you
Speaker 4: have the first text that say like, I'm here whenever
Speaker 4: you need me, but like a constant, not a constant
Speaker 4: like every single day, but you know, like consistent check in.
Speaker 4: I think is good because like I have friends too
Speaker 4: that have kids, and they went from being like, you know,
Speaker 4: my best friends that I saw all the time to
Speaker 4: being parents and so they're my whole like relationship changed
Speaker 4: with them. And I know for a fact, like, oh,
Speaker 4: if they're not tech me back, it's nothing to do
Speaker 4: with me, it's to.
Speaker 2: Do with their kids. And they just don't have the time.
Speaker 4: So I keep trying to like include especially like my
Speaker 4: friend Sarah, one of my friends, Sarah's, she has kids,
Speaker 4: and she still wants to you know, do stuff and
Speaker 4: be active and be more than just a mother, right,
Speaker 4: And so I try to go out of my way
Speaker 4: all the time to treat her like she's Sarah and
Speaker 4: not like she's Mom. And sometimes like that includes having
Speaker 4: to reach out multiple times because she's not getting back
Speaker 4: to me. Yeah, so I think that's definitely like a
Speaker 4: step further than like I will be there for you,
Speaker 4: because like, I'm sure same thing.
Speaker 1: She appreciates it, but like do more. Yeah, yeah for sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: thanks for your email and Jenna, Okay. The next email
Speaker 1: comes from Kelly and says, good morning. I'm writing this
Speaker 1: on Friday, and I'm just wondering where Dave is today.
Speaker 1: So he went out to Vegas and went to celebrate
Speaker 1: one of his old friend's.
Speaker 3: Birthday, right it was birthday?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so he has also gone today and then
Speaker 1: he's gonna be back tomorrow Tuesday, so he will be
Speaker 1: back then. And then she also says, also, I think
Speaker 1: I had a dream that.
Speaker 3: Bailey is back with Trip.
Speaker 1: Nope, all I remember is that she mentioned on the
Speaker 1: radio that Trip started talking to her again and they
Speaker 1: were going to go on a date.
Speaker 3: Was this real life or did I really dream that?
Speaker 4: No, that was a dream, honestly, If he texted me
Speaker 4: saying hey, we should get together. I would probably say
Speaker 4: no because Bro ghosted me, so no, Yeah, yep, that
Speaker 4: was a dream. Sorry here me Okay.
Speaker 1: This one says Hi, I'm a lifelong listener here and
Speaker 1: I wanted to send an appreciation note. Your show is
Speaker 1: a consistent bright spot each day. I have anxiety and
Speaker 1: the world feels so chaotic right now, and your show
Speaker 1: is such a welcome distraction to help bring a little
Speaker 1: piece to each day. You make a difference in so
Speaker 1: many people's lives. I also want to give a shout
Speaker 1: out to vont I have really been enjoying the Black
Speaker 1: History Month moment. It's been a great daily addition to
Speaker 1: the show this month. You can tell he put in
Speaker 1: so much time and effort. Truly admirable. Love you all.
Speaker 1: This comes from Rachel. Rachel, I'm going to forward your
Speaker 1: message to Vaunt right now, just so he can personally
Speaker 1: see this himself.
Speaker 4: I will every time someone texts and saying like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is such like a beacon of hope.
Speaker 2: In my every day or whatever. I remember the first.
Speaker 4: Time I did my like giant mega walk thing where
Speaker 4: I walked twenty miles. Oh yeah, the first time I
Speaker 4: went that's all I listened to was this show on
Speaker 4: the podcast like my entire way there, because I was
Speaker 4: so nervous and I was walking somewhere that I'd never
Speaker 4: been before. I was doing a twenty mile walk, which
Speaker 4: I had never done before, So I was like super
Speaker 4: anxious and listening to this show like got me through it.
Speaker 4: And I just listened to like, I don't know, like
Speaker 4: four days worth of podcasts on my way there, and
Speaker 4: that's all I listened to.
Speaker 2: It was pretty dope, you know.
Speaker 1: I so Dave has built up obviously this show for
Speaker 1: thirty plus years now, and so I hear so many
Speaker 1: people say that same thing. I just didn't grow up
Speaker 1: around radio like that. Like there was a really huge
Speaker 1: staple morning show that was out of Green Bay in
Speaker 1: Wisconsin that we'd listened to every once in a while,
Speaker 1: but I know they'd get inappropriate and my mom didn't
Speaker 1: like that on the way to schools she turned the
Speaker 1: channel and whatever. But a lot of times we were
Speaker 1: only listening to my parents' music on rides to school.
Speaker 1: So I didn't have like that growing up. So it's
Speaker 1: very interesting to hear that being a part of this
Speaker 1: show now because radio just wasn't as I mean, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say it wasn't as valued. I'm sure there's plenty
Speaker 1: of people who have shows they'd listened to in Wisconsin
Speaker 1: too that they loved. Yeah, just not for you, but
Speaker 1: it just yeah, I just never really had that growing up.
Speaker 3: So okay.
Speaker 1: This next email says, salutations Jenny in the morning, zoo oh,
Speaker 1: and Dave two.
Speaker 3: They say, I have to be honest. Here we go.
Speaker 3: Oh great.
Speaker 1: Every time you guys start talking about a sports topic,
Speaker 1: I cringe a little bit. Not because I think you
Speaker 1: guys shouldn't talk about sports, but I just cringe every
Speaker 1: time you share a piece of sports info that's incorrect.
Speaker 1: I know, y'all are not a sports station and you
Speaker 1: guys aren't exactly sports people, but I have a serious,
Speaker 1: slash not so serious idea to always ensure you guys
Speaker 1: share correct sports info.
Speaker 3: Have me be your sports whisperer.
Speaker 1: I am a huge sports fan slash nerd and follow
Speaker 1: the major Minnesota teams intensely, as well as big and
Speaker 1: national sports stories. So if someone on the show shares
Speaker 1: a piece of sports information that I know is incorrect,
Speaker 1: I could be that guy in the background nicely correcting
Speaker 1: the information. Keep on darting and lick in. This comes
Speaker 1: from Kyle ps. I'm surprised Dave doesn't rep his Colorado
Speaker 1: teams more often. Well, Kyle, the reason he doesn't is because,
Speaker 1: like you said, we're not really sports people. He is
Speaker 1: like not obsessed. He didn't grow up being obsessed with
Speaker 1: sports teams.
Speaker 3: But yes, we here's the thing, Kyle, I like your idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but because we are not a sports station, sports
Speaker 1: really only come up every once in a while, So
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure how it would work. Like, are
Speaker 1: we just supposed to have you on the phone for
Speaker 1: four and a half hours every day and then I just.
Speaker 4: Text in, Kyle, Sean put and sign it like sports
Speaker 4: whisper Kyle anytime we get something wrong and you want
Speaker 4: to text in because I, yeah, I know nothing about sports.
Speaker 4: I do like baseball, Yeah, so I know some things
Speaker 4: about baseball.
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't know any like exact rules to go by.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would say if, like if he
Speaker 1: is at like a high school level of sports knowledge,
Speaker 1: I'm at more of like a fifth grade level.
Speaker 3: Like I know enough to understand I know the names.
Speaker 1: Of sports, right, but I don't know I don't know
Speaker 1: a lot of things though I know I realize that,
Speaker 1: but I enjoy watching them and so I have at
Speaker 1: least a decent amount of knowledge. Probably not enough to
Speaker 1: ever really be talking about it a ton, though.
Speaker 2: So there's that.
Speaker 1: And the next email comes from Brittany and says, Hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: on Thursday's podcast, you were talking about men who have
Speaker 1: kids that aren't theirs, even though they think they are.
Speaker 1: This reminded me of something that happened when my husband
Speaker 1: and I had our son, and I still think about
Speaker 1: it sometimes because it was so wild to me. After
Speaker 1: our son was born, we had a routine doctor appointment
Speaker 1: check up for him within the first two weeks of
Speaker 1: him being born, and the topic of his blood type
Speaker 1: came up. I said to the doctor, Oh, yeah, what
Speaker 1: is his blood type? By the way, the doctor got
Speaker 1: a nervous look on her face and she says, we
Speaker 1: typically don't share blood type with both parents in the room.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine how bewildered I must have looked, like,
Speaker 1: what what do you mean? And I also started to
Speaker 1: feel a mama bear angry reaction, like excuse me, no,
Speaker 1: you are going to tell me what my own kid's
Speaker 1: blood type is?
Speaker 3: What the hell.
Speaker 1: I think the doctor could sense that I wasn't going
Speaker 1: to let it go, so she looked at me, my husband,
Speaker 1: and my newborn and said, Okay, you all seem fine,
Speaker 1: so I don't mind telling you. It's just we normally
Speaker 1: don't in order to avoid uncomfortable situations. So finally I
Speaker 1: realized what she meant. Situations where the new baby has
Speaker 1: a blood type that doesn't match either the mom or
Speaker 1: the dad in the room, then it's obvious that a
Speaker 1: third party wink wink was involved. Anyway, my son's blood
Speaker 1: type matched are so no uncomfortable situation for us.
Speaker 3: Lo L have a great day, y'all. That comes from Brittany. WHOA,
Speaker 3: that's grazzy.
Speaker 2: Pritty.
Speaker 3: What a good story you're sending that in.
Speaker 4: A positive your husband has like a B positive kid
Speaker 4: is an O negative And they're like, wait a second.
Speaker 3: The ways you can get caught are endless.
Speaker 4: I feel like, we're not going to tell you the
Speaker 4: blood type, Like what why not? What?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird, but that's good.
Speaker 1: Good on that doctor to read the room, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, they look like they're good.
Speaker 3: She definitely thinks that's the the father period.
Speaker 1: So Okay, this one says, Hey, Morning Show fam, this
Speaker 1: is so random. But I was listening to the Morning
Speaker 1: Show podcast from a few days ago, and you guys
Speaker 1: were discussing TGI Fridays. There is still a location in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: The Arbor Lakes Maple location is still open. It's right
Speaker 1: next to Benny Hanna over there. I only know because
Speaker 1: my single dad goes there every week and as friends
Speaker 1: with the female bartenders.
Speaker 3: Lol.
Speaker 1: Anyways, love you guys so much. Dart lick, dart lick,
Speaker 1: all right, and that comes from.
Speaker 3: Air rim love.
Speaker 4: Their dad is a regular at TGI Fridays.
Speaker 1: Like I like that because I feel like some people
Speaker 1: might be like, oh gosh, like that's annoying that the
Speaker 1: dad is whatever.
Speaker 3: But my dad like sits at home.
Speaker 1: I would rather go frequent into a place and each
Speaker 1: chats with bartenders than just like sit at home all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 4: Mom's like, all of my mom's friends are regulars from
Speaker 4: the bar. Like she goes to a bar that's like
Speaker 4: two minute drive from her house and all of her
Speaker 4: friends are the people at the bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And so I'd rather have friends period than not have
Speaker 4: friends at all and sit at home doing nothing.
Speaker 2: So power to your dad.
Speaker 4: He sounds like he's similar to my mom because she
Speaker 4: also goes to a place similar to TGI Fridays.
Speaker 3: I love that, and that's going to do it for
Speaker 3: the minute, So to goodbye. Dave.
Speaker 1: Will be back on tomorrow, but please send us your emails.
